From Babylon to Blockchains, auditors remain the premier provider of trust in society. The technology evolves. Our role does not. Enter the future with LedgerLens Proof of Reserves.

What is Proof of Reserves?

Proof of Reserves is a set of procedures whereby an exchange, custodian, token issuer, ETF issuer, or crypto fund demonstrates that they have enough assets in reserve to exceed customer liabilities.

Across Issuers, the Assets in Custody and the Liabilities to Customers differ:

Issuer Assets Liabilities
Stablecoin Fiat & Treasuries held in Banks Tokens Issued on a Blockchain
Exchange Digital Assets held in Custody Customer Liabilities as Tracked on the Exchange's Database
Crypto ETF Crypto held in Custody ETF Shares Issued and Outstanding

Why Proof of Reserves
Needs Auditors

Don’t trust, verify. Yet major transparency gaps remain in the digital asset industry today despite the innovations in cryptography, blockchains, and decentralization. Auditors and Proof of Reserves fill these gaps.

Why Auditors
Need Proof of Reserves

The Audit Profession is at a crossroads. While the world digitizes and provides information in real-time, the Audit profession remains stagnant. The profession is bleeding talent and losing services to competitors.

Proof of Reserves provides an opportunity to provide value to the public, growth opportunities for audit practices and professionals, and a futuristic path to maintain their status as the “trust providers” of society as the world digitizes and migrates on chain.

How can auditors enhance the validity of a Proof of Reserves process?

Validate Completeness and Accuracy of Customer Liabilities
Without an auditor, an issuer can “cheat” by hiding or excluding certain customer liabilities.
Validate Existence & Ownership of Assets
Issuers can purport to own the assets, but how do you really know? Auditors can help.
Maintaining Privacy of the Issuer
Banks balances, ETF shares, and exchange balances are not issued on chain. An Auditor can help bridge the gap while maintaining privacy for the issuer.
Fulfilling Regulatory Requirements

While industry efforts for self-attestations are a step in the right direction, the fact of the matter is that regulators demand a 3rd-party auditor to confirm balances.
